No Need to Visit a Field Office: Replace Your SSA-1099 Benefit Statement Online

We’re with you through life’s journey, putting you in control of your finances and future. Social Security has made requesting or replacing your annual Benefit Statement even easier. The Benefit Statement is also known as the SSA-1099 or the SSA-1042S. Now you have the ability to download it anytime and anywhere you want using our online services. There’s no need to visit a field office.

An SSA-1099 is a tax form Social Security mails each year in January to people who receive Social Security benefits. It shows the total amount of benefits you received from Social Security in the previous year so you know how much Social Security income to report to IRS on your tax return.

If you currently live in the United States and you need a replacement form SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S, simply go online and request an instant, printable replacement form with a mySocial Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.

A replacement SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S is typically available for the previous tax year after February 1.

If you already have a my Social Security account, you should access your online account and go to “Replacements Documents” to view and print your SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S. If you don’t have access to a printer, you can save the document on your computer or laptop and email it. If you don’t have a my Social Security account, creating a secure account is very easy to do and usually takes less than 15 minutes.

If you’re a noncitizen who lives outside of the United States and you received or repaid Social Security benefits last year, we will send you form SSA-1042S instead. The forms SSA-1099 and SSA-1042S are not available for people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

Securing today and tomorrow isn’t always easy, but Social Security continues to improve our customer service with easy to use online features. Visit www.socialsecurity.gov for more.

Change the limit restrictions on those who are working and receiving Social Security Benefits on lower income People who make less than 25,000 a year. Make it easier for them to keep their benefits. Early retirement for those people is because they have no choice. Their regular income is to low to meet the markets demands in living expenses. And getting another job at the age of 62 for most Americans is harder to get because younger people are taking the jobs up. Anyone who makes over 25,000 a year do not change the income restriction. Only on the lower income people who make less. Their income is still contributing to Social Security benefits. They can keep their Insurance with their companies until they are able to receive Medicare at a later time. Gives them a better chance to bring their lower income status to a more stable level where they are not looking for other benefits to maintain standard living expenses.

oh really mr. borland. I have been trying to download my SS-1099 for a couple of days without success. It keeps telling me that it is not available. I have signed on and have followed the directions. For some reason I was not mailed or the post office lost the benefit statement. The website is a disgrace please get your act together. I have also asked the s.s. to mail me another one hopefully I will get it soon so I don’t have to cancel another appointment with my tax people who do my returns. I am not happy about the terrible service that I have been receiving. I doubt you will respond to me, but you should check out the website because it is not working for me, and please don’t blame me or my computer. Its the s.s. fault

The MYSSA accounts work fine, you, or anyone for that matter don’t have access to reprint their 1099’s until February 1st of EVERY year!

This is because they are being mailed out from the processing centers from January 1st UNTIL January 31st of EVERY year!

After February 1st you can log on to your MYSSA account and print one, call 1 800 772 1213 and request them to mail you a replacement or walk into your local Social Security office and they can print you one on the stop.

How are you receiving terrible service???

The 1099’s are mailed out and people don’t have access to replacements until February 1st EVERY year!!!!

Make sure your mailing address is correct with Social Security and all 1099’s are sent first class mail, if you didn’t receive yours, how is that Social Security’s fault?

The website works fine, I suggest you take a computer comprehension course.

oh really I don’t see why I can’t download the ss 1099 am I the only one that can’t download it. the message on the website says that they are not available and I should check back later. so in all the country I’m the only one who can’t download it, really jeff you are down right rude. the message posted on the website is that these statements are not available why don’t you check it out yourself instead of insulting me. There is also a message that the website is going to be undergoing maintenance I guess I’m imagining that also. I can see all my info on the website by the way so my computer skills are fine how are yours?? P.S. I assume you mean on the spot and not on the stop.

Not Jeff Koestans,you have me mistaken mam. My name is Ms. Barbara Jean Harper and I am forty one and I already know about Medicare and Social Security from Wisconsin as a dependent off my father Edward Harper’s personal retiree record and now a Independent grown Woman as Residence in Killeen Texas who understands and knows the Laws about Medicare and total long term disability and Retirement already. Be cool. Oh, and have a nice day! Ms. Barbara Jean Harper

why are we given our Social Security money away to illegal aliens, which never worked for to earn collecting Social Security benefit? The fact of the matter is: I am not getting a right amount of my Social Security by the way. Would it be able to rectify it, and ratify the amount? Military plus Civilian Life paying Social Security All along..Same SSN….Thanks

I agree I feel that we are the forgotten ones the money that we are supposed to get is being given to the elligals and our governor doesn’t care as long as she gets her pay that is all that matters so sad

Thank you for the emails that keep us up to date. There are always those that use this website to complain and those that make fun of the remarks but this administration puts out timely and informative information. Keep it up.

The scammers steal your 1099 from the mailbox. You don’t have your 1099 to file your taxes. You wait on them to mail you another 1099. The scammers file your taxes before you do and rip off the IRS. Then you have to fight the IRS because the IRS wants you to pay back the money.

It is pretty easy to scam Social Security Disability too. All you need is to make a few visits to the psychiatrist/psychologist office complaining of severe anxiety, depression, ptsd, bipolar, etc. Before you even step out of the office for your first visit, you will have several prescriptions filed out for you.

These psychiatrist/psychologist get paid by the pharmaceutical company to prescribe you a bunch of medications. They also want you to become a regular patients to charge the insurance companies for monthly visit.

Their are a bunch of desperate psychiatrist/psychologist who would write anything diagnosis you want and they make more money by prescribing you the medication.

To gauge how desperate they are for money and patients, they are willing to perform a mental CE exam for the SSA for about $140 per person.

It is easy to convince the psychiatrist/psychologist to diagnose you with whatever you want as long as you keep coming back and filling your prescription. All you have to do is read up on the symptoms for the mental disorders on the Internet.

Then if you hire a attorney, they will have your psychiatrist/psychologist fill out a Medical Source Statement(MSS) or Residual Function Capacity(RFC). Even though the Commissioner reserved the right to determine what the claimant’s RFC is under SSR 96-5p, the Commissioner will not exercise that right and let your attorney win the case base on your own doctor MSS and RFC.

Over 50% of the cases are won at the ALJ level for the attorneys.

The SSA ALJ makes about $600 per case. Even if the attorneys lose 50% of their case, they can can make up to $6000 per win and average up to $3000 per case.

Hi Raymond. At this time you must have a U. S. mailing address to create or to access your online account from outside the United States. People with APO/FPO/DPO addresses can create an account overseas, but our system does not support registration and account creation for users with a foreign address yet. When living abroad please contact your local U.S. embassy or consulate for any assistance related to your Social Security benefits.

If you did not have any taxes withheld from your pension or SS checks, and did not pay any estimated taxes, there are no taxes for you to have refunded. There are “refundable credits” for certain people who do not have any withheld, but these are people who have “earned income” or are eligible for “child tax credits” or “education tax credits”. Most people on SS or receiving pensions do not qualify for those tax credits and refunds.

You may not owe anything. Your SS benefits might not be taxable. There is a special schedule that determines the amount of SS benefits that are taxable. At the lower end of the income scale, only 50% of the SS benefits are taxable, but this income is offset by your Standard Deduction $ 6,300/person plus you Personal Exemption of
$ 4,050. Therefore, there would be no tax due for most people who have only $ 20,000 of SS benefits. Even a small amount of pension might not even result in a tax due.

Some people who get Social Security must pay federal income taxes on their benefits. But, no one pays taxes on more than 85 percent of their Social Security benefits.
You must pay taxes on your benefits if you file a federal tax return as an “individual” and your “combined income” exceeds $25,000. If you file a joint return, you must pay taxes if you and your spouse have “combined income” of more than $32,000. If you are married and file a separate return, you probably will have to pay taxes on your benefits.
See Benefits Planner: Income Taxes and Your Social Security Benefits for more information.

For tax questions, you will need to contact the IRS. Their toll-free number is 1-800-829-1040. We hope this helps.
Please read “Social Security Number and Card for Non-Citizens”, to learn more on the process and what documents you will need to get a Social Security card. We hope this helps.

If you worked, you were required to have obtained a SS#. Until you get one, there is no place for the SSA or IRS to credit you for your income and tax withholdings.You might actually owe taxes, and not even be eligible for a refund. If you do not get a SS# because you are afraid of “identity theft”, you should not be eligible to get a job anywhere in the US because your employers are required for you to fill out an I-9 form, and a W-4 withholding form before you are allowed to start to work. If you are an “independent contractor”, then the company you are going to provide services to is required to get your SS# from you so they can issue you a 1099-MISC at the end of the year. They should never pay you until you provide them documentation of your SS#.

There is considerable concern that the President is discriminating against people on the basis of foreign nationality in order to commit crimes against the victims of Obama/Hillary administration authentication fraud regarding identification documents that leaves many native born, naturalized and immigrant people stateless. At least he’s not a vegetarian like Hitler and there is no mistaking Trump for a civilian leader concerned about the animal cruelty of kosher butchers. It looks like the President repealed his quip in an executive order regarding protecting SSA applicant gun purchasing rights, under my snoopy Nader “government in the corporate interest is a fascist” smelling nose. We don’t want local offices to be the next site for rampage shootings. We in fact, as social insurers of the victims and in inappropriate citation of Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) hope the Warfarin manufacturer will pay $1 million + the inheritance of the perpetrator Omar Mateen for victim compensation of 200 victims of the Pulse Nightclub shooting http://www.title24uscode.org/salman.htm

The President seems to be under the same influence that Obama was under when he took office in a bloodbath of foreign civilians killed by the US military – the ATTB in the Republican death row stronghold in Cincinnati from whence he hired a bunch of low-brow Marines, to make up for his failure to pass the PFT, and consequential inability to perform higher level intellectual and accounting functions, due to the other stupid and violent things and ways of thinking that recruits learn in basic training. The risk of use of interstate commercial facility in the commission of murder for hire is redressed by relocating ATTB to a legal marijuana state and changing the name of the agency to ATM.

The President is in error to enforce enforcement, enforcement needs to be abolished under the Slavery Convention of 1926, otherwise is to incite ethnic violence in contravention to Art. 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Furthermore, immigration law is malum prohibitum and enforcement thereof is particularly malum in se, true crime. What the President wants to do is sell undocumented pedestrians the $10 fingerprinting promised in the US Constitution, and give all sorts of officials the authority to sell people identification and immigration documents at regular prices. This is explained in Section 18 Regular Priced Travel and Identification Documents

a. A refugee is someone who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of origin owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion. A stateless person is someone who is not considered as a national by any state under the operation of its law. The term stateless person describes the rapidly growing population of United States citizens born and naturalized in the United States and nationals at some stage in the naturalization process, who have been denied identification documents due to impossible bureaucratic red tape to elicit extortionate fees to replace documents lost, stolen or mutilated. The epidemiological paradox is that Hispanics, with a large undocumented population, live longer and are healthier although poorer, than other people in the United States.

b. More than 4 million social security cards have been issued to newborns during Republican administrations and less than 4 million births have been recorded during Democratic administration since 1989. Everyone born in the United States of foreign parents is entitled to be naturalized a US citizenship at birth under the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness (1961) and the equal protection section one of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

c. Common Article 26 of the Conventions Relating to the Status of Refugees and Stateless People of 1951 and 1954. Common Article 28 requires States to issue to refugees and stateless persons lawfully staying in their territory travel documents for the purpose of travel outside their territory, unless compelling reasons of national security or public order otherwise require. Common Article 29 ensures 1. States shall not impose upon refugees or stateless persons duties, charges or taxes, of any description whatsoever, other or higher than those which are or may be levied on their nationals in similar situations. 2. Nothing in the above paragraph shall prevent the application to stateless persons of the laws and regulations concerning charges in respect of the issue to aliens of administrative documents including identity papers.

d. Citizens born and naturalized in the United States have a right to purchase United States passports at normal price. The United States is liable to refund individuals for thousands of dollars of bribes they were forced to make since 2010 for fake ‘original’ naturalization papers, artificially needed for foreign born and naturalized citizens to purchase a passport, as the result of the unconstestable battery of false authentication features, in violation of 18USC§1028. The disclaimer on the free copies of naturalization papers provided by US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) should be removed. Stateless citizens must be sold identification and travel documents at normal price under Common Article 29 of the Conventions Relating to the Status of Refugees and Stateless Persons of 1951 and 1954 respectively.

e. Immigrant visas are issued under 8USC(12)§1153. Work visas are issued under 8USC(12)(II)(III)§1202 through a withholding of income tax on the wages of nonresident aliens under 26USC(A)(3)(A)§1441. The prices however have to be fair. The Canadian refugee agency argues for a $500 fee. The Constitution prices travel documents at $10 in Art. 1 Sec. 8 that would be fair for fingerprinting and issuing temporary travel documents to otherwise undocumented pedestrians crossing the borders on the basis of a bilateral international background check of their fingerprints.

Here is another example of the SSA giving away free SSDI money. Social Security Disability Insurance program was passed in 1949. The SSA never updated their insured status to meet the law. The fully insured status was elapsed for every year after 1951. People disabled shortly after 1951 and we’re over 31 didn’t need all 40 credits to be fully insured. That period has long gone and the SSA is still treating new applicants over the age of 31 as fully insured that do not have 40 credits.

(c) How a period of disability affects the number of QCs you need. In determining the number of elapsed years under paragraph (b) of this section, we do not count as an elapsed year any year which is wholly or partly in a period of disability we established for you. For example, if we established a period of disability for you from December 5, 1975 through January 31, 1977, the three years, 1975, 1976 and 1977, would not be counted as elapsed years.” https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/404/404-0110.htm

A period of Disability would not be counted as a elapsed year under paragraph (b)

The years started to elapsed after 1951. All of those years have elapsed before 1977 and no one has been under a period of disability before 1977 to extend it.

For State and Local Governments pension plans, you must be fully vested before you can collect disability off the pension plan. Fully vested mean you have fully vest in the retirement in order to collect the disability benefits.

Here are more examples of the SSA giving away free money. When they turn 62, their fully insured ends. They need to be switch over to early retirement and you need to pay them less. Their early retirement at age 62 is a lot less than their disability payments. Why is the SSA waiting for their full retirement age and paying them more Social Security retirement benefits.

They could apply for early retirement at age 62 or collect nothing if they want to wait until 65. Their fully insured ends at age 62, so they are not eligible for Medicare either. They need to apply for Medicaid if they are poor and have limited resources.

The SSA needs to kick both SSDI and SSI beneficiaries onto early retirement at age 62 and not just SSI beneficiaries.

“(a) If you are a woman, or a man born after January 1, 1913, the period of elapsed years in § 404.110(b) used in determining the number of quarters of coverage (QCs) you need to be fully insured ends as of the earlier of—
(1) The year you become age 62; or
(2) The year in which—
(i) Your period of disability begins;
(ii) Your waiting period begins (see § 404.315(d)); or
(iii) You become entitled to disability insurance benefits (if you do not have to serve a waiting period).” https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/404/404-0132.htm

(c) For purposes of this section—
(1) An individual shall be insured for disability insurance benefits in any month if—
(A) he would have been a fully insured individual (as defined in section 214) had he attained age 62 and filed application for benefits under section 202(a) on the first day of such month, andhttps://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/ssact/title02/0223.htm

They have to first meet the 40 credits requirement under Section (A) and not just have the credits needed for Section B.

The Child Labor Law doesn’t prohibit a child from working. If you are working, then you have to pay FICA taxes. FICA taxes aren’t exempt for children. They can earn 40 credits, 6 credits earned in the 3-year period ending when your disability starts for people under 24 years old in subparagraph (B)

Need some help On reporting a death of a veteran who was retired and living in Korea and was receiving SS benefits. Can that be reported to the Office In Manila and what paper work is required so that his spouse can file for benefits and what forms need to be submitted. Thank you

If they use the IT program calculator, then the beneficiaries might get over paid. They have to do it manually.

The PIA is the year after the waiting period. If it took them two years to get approved. You would use the PIA for 2015 instead of 2017. Using the PIA for 2017 would increase their benefits and overpay them.

The first bend point for 2015 is $826 and the first bend point for 2017 is $885. This is a different of $59. 90% of $59 is $53 at the first bend. 32% of $59 is $19 at the second bend. They could be overpaid by up to $34 at the first two bend.

i have 7 cxc 0’level passes including math and english, i don’t have a certificate for I.T, but i have had jobs which consisted of data entry and was also a data operator for customs and excise, my question is what qualifies for the IT personnel job?

I never got my 1099 for taxes in the mail or my new cost of living increase. I have tried to create an account twice and it says it doesn’t exist. Can you please send me one of each? my address is current on your file.

We apologize for the inconveniences Joan. If you are having difficulties with your personal my Social Security account, please call 1-800-772-1213 for assistance. After you hear “Briefly tell me why you are calling,” say “Help Desk” for help with a my Social Security account. At the same time, you can also request a copy of your SSA-1099 form and a copy of your benefit verification letter for 2017. Or you can contact your local Social Security office directly. Thank you.

It appears my post has been removed, so here it goes again.
What ever you do , don’t file on -line. Here is why. It is long, but worth the read.

The Social Security Administration Would Frighten Franz Kafka and Amuse “Ernestine.”

It might seem a stretch to conflate the Social Security Administration with the writer Franz Kafka, the author of TheTrial and the Castle , and the comedienne Lily Tomlin’s portrayal of “Ernestine”, a phone company “spokes person,” but walk with me down absurdity lane.

In his two works, Kafka focuses on the absurdity of the world exacerbated by anonymous, domineering, insensitive bureaucracies pursuing governmental policies that are at best illogical and at worse, patently unfair, unforgiving, and often deadly. Lilly Tomlin’s “Ernestine”, frequently opined disdainfully about customer complaints by saying, “ we don’t care, we’re the phone company.” These two themes, faceless bureaucracies inefficiently and unfairly doing a government’s business, reinforced by a monopolistic attitude of not caring about citizen redress, applies to the Social Security (SS ) Administration. As a Kafkaesque governmental entity its leadership doesn’t care about legitimate complaints , because , to channel “Ernestine”- “we don’t care, we’re the Social Security Administration”.

A recent article in the Baltimore Sun highlighted the absence of a permanent Social Security Administrator, and that there is a 20 month backlog in reviewing disability claims. For me, this backlog has nothing to do with a lack of leadership or personnel, but is a deliberate ploy to stone wall legitimate claims so as to make the claimant go away because of sheer despondency at getting a resolution to the appeal.

I am a retired Baltimore Police Sergeant and when working I did not contribute to the SS system. But after retiring I earned enough quarters to qualify for SS benefits and consequently Medicare. I applied , on- line, for benefits on January 3rd 2010, and answered yes to the questions regarding pension benefits. In an anonymous letter dated March 15, 2016, SS stated that I allegedly owed $27,577.00 in over payments based on the Windfall Elimination Provision because of my pension, and I had 30 days to repay. I say allegedly when I refer to any of the figures quoted by SS because I have no idea of their accuracy. Included with the letter was a repayment envelope and I didn’t have to use a stamp-how considerate. Now this SS saga became Kafkaesque, instead of just consummate incompetency.

SS has a multitiered appeal protocol. I filed on March 29, 2016 and stated SS was at fault for the alleged overpayment. Naively, I thought requesting an informal meeting, per a SS’s appeal protocol, would resolve the issue. Approximately eight months later, in a letter dated November 15, 2016, SS admitted fault in processing my application without taking into account my pension. However, I would be getting a letter explaining my “new overpayment”- a decision that I could again appeal. These SS letters are sent regular snail mail with SS assuming you get them without proof of delivery. Nice gambit, particularly when you are given a 30/60 day window to appeal.

A letter dated January 24, 2017 claimed I allegedly owed $23,841.00. No mention of my informal meeting request or that the alleged overpayment added to my gross income for tax purposes. SS used $3,736.00 of my benefits to recover part of the alleged overpayment, and if I didn’t remit the $23k plus in 30 days, my entire SS benefit would be used to recover the money.But, I could appeal for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALD) to contest.

This depressing Kafkaesque joke became more surreal. On February 2nd, I submitted an appeal for an ALD hearing with supportive documentation to my assigned SS office. On Saturday , February 4th, I received a letter from SS ,dated February 3, 2017, and with this letter the hammer fell . My benefit was terminated effective the March 2017 payment, including my Medicare premium, until November 2020. Consequently,I will have to pay out of pocket for my Medicare health coverage and I recently received the first premium bill with billing date if 1/27/2017. Meaning, that SS /Medicare processed a premium bill 3 days after the date of the last SS letter I received stating I could appeal. So much for this scam of an appeal system. The insane thing is that there are two more appeal steps I am entitled to, but I know what they are worth. Your appeal is denied even before your appeal steps are exhausted, and you are punished accordingly based on an anonymous whim. – Kafka smiles in his grave.

Compared to what many Americans experience at the anonymous “hands” of the Social Security Administration, my SS absurdity pales, but it exemplifies what the Administration thinks of the American public, “we don’t care, we are the Social Security Administration.”

We’re sorry to hear about the loss of your father Kimberly. In certain cases, we may disclose SSA-1099 information from the record of a deceased person, only to a survivor of the deceased and only if we are able to establish the relationship of the survivor to the deceased based on SSA records. Your mother will need to go into the local Social Security office with proper identification and supporting documents to make a request for a replacement SSA-1099. If you need more information, call our toll free number at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. and ask a representative for assistance. We hope this information helps.

What is the best way for elderly persons without computers to obtain replacement 1099 forms? My dad did not think he needed it, and threw it away. He does not have a computer, and the phone is beyond him too.

Good morning, in order to get a copy of the SSA-1099 for my mother who passed away last year, I see that I need to go to the “local” SS Office with the proper documentation. Can I go to my local office, or do I need to travel to hers? And, is this the needed documentation: Letter of Testamentary, Death Certificate, my Drivers License? Thanks

Hello, Cindy. You may wish to consider becoming your mother’s representative payee. This would allow you to obtain necessary proofs from Social Security on her behalf. Having power of attorney, being an authorized representative, or having a joint bank account with the beneficiary is not the same as being a representative payee. These arrangements do not give legal authority to negotiate and manage a beneficiary’s Social Security and/or SSI benefits. In order to be a payee, you must apply for and be appointed by Social Security. A face-to-face interview is required. To make an appointment with your local office or to discuss further, call our toll free number at 1-800-772-1213. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Please visit our Frequently Asked Questions web page for more information. Thanks.

Hello Haskel. If you are having difficulties with your personal my Social Security account, please call 1-800-772-1213 for assistance. After you hear “Briefly tell me why you are calling,” say “Help Desk” for help with a my Social Security account. Sometimes, it might be best to visit your local Social Security office for further assistance. Thanks.

I am curious as to what my 2018 social security disability payments will be. Does anyone know when the forecast earnings statements come out? I tried to access my own statement online, but it locked me out and said I was in putting info that did not mesh with their info to prove my identity . I put in my personal info and it said my statement of identity proof is not the same as theirs.I know I can wait till tomorrow and speak to an agent but today it is urgent to have a copy of my future disability pmt including the cola.I am getting benefits now so to lock me out makes no sense.

Hi Michael, if you’re referring to a form SSA-1099, you can get an replacement SSA-1099, by using your online my Social Security account. An SSA-1099 is a tax form we mail each year in January to people who receive Social Security benefits. It shows the total amount of benefits you received from Social Security in the previous year.

I received a letter from SSA yesterday. I read the front page of information , and when I turned over the page, I didn’t see any writing or number. It didn’t look like something I needed to save, so I shredded it with 4 charity requests. My husband said the information about my income for next year’s on the back side. I’d like a replacement for the SSA letter I destroyed.

It was really wonderful to be able to take care of this business online today. I have been trying to take of this at the local office, but did not have the time to sit and wait until it was my turn. What a relief to be able to do it this way. Thanks.

please forward to me a duplicate form of the new benefit amount for 2018. The post office did not deliver one to me and my husband has had his almost 2 weeks and usually they come together. I have tried calling and they don’t understand what I want.

Hi Virginia. The cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) notices for 2018 are mailed during the month of December. If you need proof you get Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security (SSI) Income or Medicare, you can request a benefit verification letter online by using your my Social Security account.

I have written you previous to this and am not sure I know what you want. All I need is a duplicate form showing what I will be getting, together with deductions for the upcoming year 2018. The post office did not deliver mine – sometimes the mail is delivered to the wrong place (more than once) and sometimes it is also discarded. Thanks for resending.

web site is worthless. This is Dec 2017 and I want to download 2016 SSA 1099. It can’t be done. Web site instructs me to either call an 800 which I did and got a prerecorded message where I cant talk to a live person or go to local office. SO FRUSTRATING!

I am disappointed with your supposed service of obtaining a replacement 1099 form for 2016, which I need immediately to complete other personal business.
I opened an account a few years ago, and wrote down my user name and password for later use. Today I made 3 attempts to obtain said information without success and was then locked out for 24 hours. Today being a Sunday, I don’t expect any help, and I do not look forward to having a very long telephone wait tomorrow.

I have not had to deal with social security for several years until now, but I hesitate to do so because of the last experience. I displayed my SS card which I obtained when I was 14 years old back in 1955. My signature would be one of a very neat person attending public schools. I was then required to sign a document and guess what, my current signature did not look anything like my 60 old school boy signature. The young lady with the experience in life of a empty Coke bottle denied my transaction because the signatures did not match. Rather than be denied service and have to try again I tried to master my old signature, which to me was a current act of FORGERY, because that was not my signature as a 75 year old with arthritic hands. Of course, the coke bottle didn’t understand the difference years make.

Tried to get copy of deceased husband 1099 to do taxes. It wasn’t forwarded to me and can’t do it on line because they locked his account . Then after being on hold for an hour they say I have to go into local social security offfic to get it. They should just say that online instead of all the other stuff that doesn’t work.

We’re sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, Darlene and truly apologize for any inconvenience.

This site is very difficult to use. After trying 10 unique usernames – some with randomn numbers mixed with randomn letters…..every rejection said the username was in use. There isn’t enough time in the day to mess with this….

And all I needed was a copy of my SSA-1099!!! A response in 4 to 6 weeks is not helpful to file an income tax return!

Carrell C. Crowder SSN *** – ** – *** of which Loyd K. Crowder, her spouse, was the payee. Carrell passed away on January 28, 2018. The payment that she would have received for Feb. 2018 was direct deposited, and then pulled back after notification of her death. I then received a letter stating I would have to return that benefit for Jan because there is no payments for the month in which the person being paid the benefit died. I then wrote a check in the amount of $884.00 on Feb. 21 2018 to cover the Jan. payment. This Jan, we received the SS 1099 showing that $884.00 in box 3 and none in box 4 on. I would like it corrected so I do not have to claim it on my taxes for 2018 because Carrell had no income from SS for 2018

You say: “creating a secure account is very easy to do and usually takes less than 15 minutes.” Judging by comments on other sites, I am among many thousands of people who find that this is not true at all. In fact I have spent hours trying to do this, including a lot of time on hold, only to find that my correct answers to my credit questions are not accepted as correct by the system, and I am therefore locked out permanently because I tried 3 times (per advice of first phone helper to keep trying.) Now I am told that my only recourse is to physically go to a Social Security office (closest one is over an hour away) and wait for someone to have time to provide me with a code to circumvent this broken system. To add insult to injury, the phone survey afterwards asks if I requested a callback, but there is nowhere to request such a callback – even the Helpdesk person I got this morning told me it existed but was unable to find it anywhere on the website, even with the help of his supervisor, and it is certainly not in the menu when you call.

I do not want to establish a Social Security account on line. Isn’t there an easier way to just access my number and print out a replacement 1099? It’s just too risky to put all of the information they want to establish an account and to visit a local Social Security office takes up more time than I have left to live!

I haven’t received my 2017 SSA-1099. Diane Oliver
XXX-XX-XXXX. On my social security account, no form comes up in Replacement documents area> How do I
get it? They said it would be mailed in Feb. nothing yet

Hello Diane. The Form SSA-1099 is mailed each year in January to people who receive Social Security benefits. It shows the total amount of benefits you received from Social Security in the previous year so you know how much Social Security income to report to IRS on your tax return.
If you need a replacement, you can get one quickly and easily beginning February 1st by using your online my Social Security account.Just a reminder – Please be cautious about posting personal information on social media. Thanks!

This is not true in all cases. I collect spousal benefits, with a government pension offset. My SSA benefits are applied fully to Medicare. My onlone SS account shows no data, and does not have a tab to request a 1099 form, which incidentially, I have not received. Apparently SSA doe not automatically send these out to people in my situation and I am forced to scramble every year to get the form generated. Not to mention being unable to file tax returns for want of the formal document. You folks need to fix the problem or stop telling everyone how easy it is to obtain a replacement document.

I wanted to get an SSA-1099 for 2016 online so I signed up and they asked me a question where I got my car loan. I cannot drive, never have had a car. I wasn’t able to get in and it scared me half to death that someone stole my credit until I saw a website where for many years this has been happening and you haven’t fixed it! Please fix or don’t publish something like this.

My mother passed away on February 22, 2017. Her name is Arlene M. Feagans, her date of birth, is 10/21/1026, her SSN is *** – ** – ***. I have not received her 1099 form from the Social Security Office. I am trying to have her taxes done and the tax office needs her 1099. I have made several calls to the Social Security Office and have waited on line for over 40 minutes each time, only to be referred a local Social Security Office that transfers me BACK to the main office…

My address is Elaine Chapman, 14420 Coachway Drive, Centreville, VA 20120 Or, you can send it to the tax office, Bull Run Accounting & Tax Services, P.O. Box 1293, Haymarket, VA 20168.

I need a copy of my SSA-1099-sm.
I tried to have it emailed to me on the my social security site and it said I was not able to access this document, to check my url. Don’t know how to do that.

I went online to establish an SSA.My Account. They wanted info from me which is reasonable. They wanted the name of a credit card I applied for in 2014. I had no idea. I don’t usually apply for credit cards as my husband does and I am on them. They wanted the name of my closed mortgage account. My closed car loan account and a bank card. I did not answer the questions as they wanted so they said come back tomorrow..I still will not know the answers. How about some better questions. I need my 1099.

Hello my name is Cindy Lynn Aloi. I have durable power of attorney for my mother Denise Amelie Aloi and am co trustee of her trust. I also have been supervising her tax returns since my father, Anthony John Aloi, passed on 01/11/2011.
My mother is currently residing at The Burlington Health and Rehab facility in Burlington Vermont. This year I did not receive a SSA-1099. Last year it was sent as forwarded mail from her previous address, Pillsbury Manor, an assisted living facility.
This year I did not receive her SS benefit statement. Please inform me how to obtain one as I am running out of tax time!
Thank you!

Hello Cindy, you may be interested in applying to become your mother’s representative payee.
A Representative Payee is different than having “Power of Attorney”. As a representative payee, you will be able to get a replacement copy of your mother’s Form SSA-1099, also it will make it easier for you in the future to update information on your mother’s record.
You will have to contact your local Social Security office for a face-to-face interview to apply to be your mother’s representative payee.
When friends or family are not able to serve as payees, Social Security looks for qualified organizations to be representative payees. In this case, the nursing facility may consider applying to be the representative payee. Please consider talking with the nursing facility manager or administrator about this important issue, they will contact us if they have specific questions or to understand the facility’s responsibilities. We understand how inconvenient this may be for you, but hope you understand our role in protecting everyone’s personal information.
Please read our publication: A Guide For Representative Payees for more information.
For further assistance or to make an appointment, please call our toll free number at 1-800-772-1213. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Thanks!

In attempting to request one on this site, I cannot get past the entry of my email address. Until approximately a year ago the address had been WaikikiYES@hawaii.rr.com. A year ago, the entire building changed to a bulk contract with HawaiianTelcom, and the address became WaikikiYES@hawaiiantel.net. HELP!!

I AM a U.S. citizen living overseas. Since I don’t have a U.S. address, I can’t open an account online. I have not received my form SSA1099 (benefits statement) and have gotten no response from the overseas consulate that handles people living in Bermuda. I need the form to file my 2017 federal tax return. Is there anyone I can contact to actually get some service?

I am a Federal Fiduciary for a retired veteran who is suffering from Demencia(Alzheimers). I am in the process of doing his 2017 Form 1040. However he does not have his 2017 Form SSA-1099. Since he is not mobile I can not take him to the local Soc Sec Office and they will not give me a replacement. It is not legal for me to open a “My Social Security Account” in his behalf, so how can I obtain a replacement copy?

Thank you for your question, Carlos. Social Security takes protecting the public’s personal information very seriously. The Privacy Act prohibits Federal agencies from disclosing personal information without the person’s consent, except under certain conditions.
It does sound as if the individual you’re trying to help needs a Representative Payee to help managing his Social Security benefits.

Tawanna Parlor here still today sich has the now and future. Ists not pretty but insurance and bills must be paid has well has taxes.

I was blocked from preventing an acct. which I need to access my ssa-1099. (I moved at the end of 2017, plus my mother has been critically ill for the past several months. My 1099 form seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle). In attempting to open an account, I was asked “security” questions regarding 10 year old phone phone #s which I could not remember, and car or mortgage payments differing by just a few dollars which I also do not remember (I pay those bills electronically so it takes care of itself, so to speak). There has to be a better way to do this!!!!!

what does ‘previous tax year’ mean? The immediately previous year? Any previous year?
You mislead unintentionally.
I needed the form for 2016 as a lump sum adjustment was paid in 2017 for 2016.
Previous year misled me to believe I could access what I needed.
I cannot.
Additionally, someone should let customers know their password expires. That was another long wait on the phone for help which could have been avoided.
You want to get paid? Make it easier for us who PAY to access our information so we can fill out our IRS forms.

I need a corrected SSA-1099 form for my deceased spouse. He was given disability benefits which came after he died, and the total amount was reclaimed. The form says he got the money.
I can’t go on line. The field office sent a request. My only option is to call the 1-800 number because his account has been shut down. I have called six times over 3 months and have been promised a corrected form, promised a call from a supervisor. No corrected form. No call. Each time I call it takes 25 – 80 minutes.

My mother-in-law does not use email and can’t keep track of things very well. I can’t believe that the only way to request a copy of her SSA-1099 is to set up an account and provide a valid email. That is crap. There has to be an alternative for old people.

I desperately need help. I am locked out of my account.
I followed directions and I’m so frustrated that I’m locked out. How do I get unlocked out?
I write out my new password with upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers and nothing work. I need to get an SSA-1099 for taxes and again.
15 minutes ago I received a number for security and was allowed in, then it wouldn’t take the number. I don’t know why this can’t be more simple. It seems so bit it isn’t. help!

I’m trying to get my annual statement for the previous year, not this year’s statement. I was told, on your website, to call a number and ask for “help desk.” When I called the number(800-772-1213) the lady who answered said “she was not social security” but had been receiving many calls assuming she was Soc. Sec. I then called the “hard of hearing” number (which I am) and the message machine that answered identified themselves as Jason, but not w/ Soc. Sec. I then called the local number, 866-755-4334, given to me on my last Soc. Sec. statement and received the response “this is not a working number. I NEED to talk to someone. My request is a simple one. PLEASE HELP!!!

I just posted a thank-you note on your site. I do pro-bono work in Federal Tax Consulting for the Elderly , in the Bellingham,WA, area. Can I help one of my neighbors request her missing SSA-1099, for the year 2017, from your site? Thanks for any information.David D Klein.

I just got locked out of my application to apply for my 1099 for 2017 and 2016 . I have misplaced them and my accountant needs them.

Can an individual who lives in Japan (with only a Japanese address) open an account online? If not, how can this individual receive a replacement SSA-1099 or SSA-1042S if none was received in the mail? Please advise and thank you in advance.

Thank you for contacting us, Erwin. The “my Social Security” authentication system requires address verification as one of the essential criteria for issuing an account. People with APO/FPO/DPO addresses can create an account overseas, but our system does not support registration and account creation for users with a foreign address yet.
We recommend that individuals living outside the United States contact their nearest Federal Benefits Unit. Please read our publication “Your Payments While You are Outside the United States” for more important information. Thanks!

The statements regarding the ability to view and/or print a 1099 form from the My Social Security Account portal (from the replacement documents tab) is false, a complete load of crock. The option does not even show up under that tab, only replacements for a card, a statement or verification letter. Completely useless….

You will need to go into the local Social Security office with proper identification and supporting documents to make a request for a replacement SSA-1099. We hope this information helps.

I need a 2017 1099 replacement and get rejected trying to create an account….probably because I can’t remember old phone numbers and don’t recognize oldaccount business names. So, the simple pro ess ain’t so simple. Having a tired 75 year old brain probably isn’t helping the effort either.
So, how can I get a 1099 for the year 2017?
